ProSAFE Wireless Controller WC7600 Note: You can configure profiles to function with different authentication servers. For example, you could set up a guest profile with no authentication, an engineering profile that uses external RADIUS authentication, and a marketing profile that uses external LDAP authentication. You can also use additional external RADIUS servers in other profiles. • MAC authentication. If you want to use a MAC access control list (ACL) to control access of wireless clients, first create one or more MAC ACLs: - Configure the basic MAC ACL on the basic MAC Authentication screen (see Configure Basic Local MAC Authentication Settings on page 110). - For more complex networks, configure additional MAC ACLs on the advanced MAC Authentication screen (see Configure a Local MAC Authentication Group on page 113). After you have configured one or more MAC ACLs, you can then assign any MAC ACL to a security profile in a basic profile group or advanced profile group. • Cloning profiles. For faster setup, you can clone a profile and rename it. Cloning copies all settings except for the name and SSID. Basic and Advanced Security Configuration Concepts The basic security configuration model (Configuration > Security > Basic) does not apply strictly to the basic profile group, nor does the advanced security configuration model (Configuration > Security > Advanced) apply strictly to advanced profile groups. The reason is that you apply an authentication server and a MAC ACL to an individual profile and not to a profile group. • Basic security settings. You can apply the following security settings to any profile, whether in the basic profile group or in an advanced profile group: - Basic MAC authentication (the MAC ACL group that is called basic) - Basic authentication server (the RADIUS server that is called basic-Auth or the LDAP server that is called basic-LDAP) • Advanced security settings. You can apply the following security settings to any profile, whether in the basic profile group or in an advanced profile group: - Advanced MAC authentication (the MAC ACLs that are, by default, called Acl-1, Acl-2, Acl-3, and so on; you can change these default names) - Advanced authentication server (the RADIUS servers that are, by default, called Auth-1, Auth-2, Auth-3, and so on; you can change these default names) Manage Security Profiles and Profile Groups 85
